Using the MPC1000 at gigs

Hi, ok so I'm new here and kinda new to the MPC1000 as well but I've been writing songs for a while now and also recording using all 4 line out mixes of the MPC. My question is what's the best way to play the rhythm tracks in a live setting, is it best to take the actually MPC with me(i'd just play the pre-recorded songs from it) or just burn the tracks to CD or upload as sound files like wav, mp3? I'm thinking about the mix of the tracks, if i use all 4 mix outs, will it have more punch coming from the MPC? Maybe somebody could help me out with this, that would be awesome. Thanks so much, Dan

If you want any real time control over the arrangements/mix/sounds/effects take the MPC. If not keep it as simple (and light/small) as possible.
